FIGURE 3-1Patch Panel Connection Between a Terminal Server and a Sun Fire V440 Server

If the pinouts for the serial management port do not correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you need to make a crossover cable that takes each pin on the Sun Fire V440 server serial management port to the corresponding pin in the terminal server’s serial port.

TABLE 3-1shows the crossovers that the cable must perform.
